A New Discovery Could Bring Scientists Closer to Healing Damaged Tendons

A new discovery by researchers at Queen Mary University of London could bring scientists closer to healing damaged tendons. The study, published in Advanced Science, found that a softer environment can help struggling tendon cells bounce back, offering a fresh clue to why tendon pain can persist. The team identified a population of tendon cells that responds strongly to changes in its physical environment, providing a new way to investigate tendon repair and regeneration.
